THE Alta California is fighting the
caucus in California because the
genius of Democracy is against con-
Oentration OF power; we antagonize
Capitalization OF authority; under the
methods used by such system, party
enthusiasm evaporates and the sap Of
life dries up in the arteries OF the or
ganisstion. In Tilden's time, when a
fight for decent politics became neces-
sorry, the caucus was not called eau
Gus. 1t was called cancer, and Mr..
Tilden said to the Democracy Of New
York: Let us seine the knife and cut
the cancer out = aad it was done, and
caucus and corruption and their cate
shism, their influence and their Great
ares fell In heaps like the slain OF
esld Of battle"

become irrevocable il the breach is not

were in favor OF calling the Rev. E. o.
Elain, of Lebanon, to the pastorate OF
the church, but his docirinal views
were 70 widely diff rent from those OF
a majority OF the members that Rev.
W. S. Wills, OF Kentucky, was called.
This caused the breach, and The Elain
fiction have Withdrawn from the
church and established q new church,
OF which Mr.. Elain is pastor.
The details were this evening ar
ranged for TIE construction OF a fine
bridge across tle river at this point.
The bridge win cost 5000, 900, and will
have q separate cariisge way. One
hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars Of the stock has been sub
scribed, and bonds for the remaining
$4,000 will be Issued. The Ohio

MILLER is ahead Of all the other
candidates for Senator from New York,

The New Town of Justin.
JUSTIN, DENTON COUNTY, Ten.
March O6 1897


March 26, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
This is small DuJ growing town on
the northern extension Of the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe Railway from Fort
Worth. 1t is situated twenty-four miles
north of the Fort, and before the arrival
of the railroad there was nothing here
but bald prairie. Now we have three
good business houses, one of which is 8
we'll stocked drug store, a blacksmith
shop and several fine residences. Other
buildings are in course of erection.
The railway company have sunk large
well here, some ninety feet deep, and have
also bored two artesian wells, each of
which are over 200 feet deep, and plenty
Of water is secured for the town. 1t is
also water station on the road.
So ambitious has the future town be-
come that several of our residents are
talking OF electing civic dignitaries with
out the fOrmality of incorporation. Cap
tain Jack O'Hara, the well known rail
road man, seems to be the popular choice
for city marshal, and John CIeary seems
to be equally popular for mayor.
We had rain all around us on Saturday
evening but here none fell, although the
crops would be greatly benefited by it.

being shared, will give it to you. About
the close of last year there appeared
glowing advertisement to the effect that
anyone who would subscribe to the Farm
and Household, paper published at VIII
liDef1rd, would get in addition to the
paper, as premium, magnificent time
riece, solar indicator, whatever that
was. Well, after a while the paper came
along, but the Indicator never did. Then
the publishers sent a card giving as an
excuse that the machinery had been
broken on account of the multitudinous
orders, but that the delay would
not be long. Later, they sent
another card stating that those
elegant indicators were ready ard if
not received in 8 reasonable time, they
would upon the return of the card, send
tracer after it. Well upon complying
with all of these requirements my gentle
friend received q card to the effect that if
that valuable % timepiece had not been
received, it must have gone asttay in the
mail.
Now this last card indicates plainly
that the WillingfOrd concern had printed
many of the sort to answer like COM
plants, and the indications are that the
Indicator is myth, and the whole affair
a catch-penny for greeGys. 1t is curious
fact that though these bats are put out
almost every day and nearly always
prove to be bite, yet the minnows will
nibble and every now and then get
hooked. 2 81. W. M.

at pit OF the stomach, heartburn, wind in the
stomach, bad breath, bad taste in the mouth,
low spirits, general prostraton. There is
no form of disease more prevalent than Dys-

an e1feebied or poisoned condition of the
blood. BULLS SARSAPARiLLA BY cleansing
and purifying the blood tones up the diges-
